Alternative Approaches To The Treatment Of Diabetes - 1,617 words
Alternative Approaches To The Treatment Of
Diabetes Alternative Approaches to the Treatment
of Diabetes Diabetes is a general term for a
disease caused by defective carbohydrate
metabolism and characterized by abnormally large
amounts of sugar in the blood and urine. Diabetes
is usually classified into two types. Type I or
insulin-dependent diabetes, formerly called
juvenile-onset, usually occurs in children and
young adults; and, Type II, or non-insulin
dependent diabetes (formerly called adult-onset
diabetes) is found in persons over 40 years old
and progresses slowly (Funk and Wagnalls 183).
Diabetes is considered a group of disorders with
multiple causes, rather than a single disorder. T ...

Animal Cruelty - 1,051 words
Animal Cruelty Jeff Albrecht Joseph Aimone Writing
and Rhetoric 13 December 2000 Animal Cruelty One
of the most touchy aspects of our relationship
with animals is the use of animals in laboratory
sciences. Some manufactures of cosmetics and
household products still conduct painful and
useless tests on live animals, even though no law
requires them not to. Some people, called
anti-vivisectionists, are at one extreme in their
concern. They want an abolition of all experiments
on live animals. At the other extreme there are
those who say that it is quite all right for us to
do whatever we like to animals. They say that God
gave us such a right, since it is written in the
bible (Genesis 1:26) th ...

Aristotle - 1,798 words
Aristotle Let us again return to the good we are
seeking, and ask what it can be. It seems
different in different actions and arts; it is
different in medicine, in strategy, and in the
other arts likewise. What then is the good of
each? Surely that for whose sake everything else
is done. In medicine this is health, in strategy
victory, in architecture a house, in any other
sphere something else, and in every action and
pursuit the end; for it is for the sake of this
that all men do whatever else they do. Therefore,
if there is an end for all that we do, this will
be the good achievable by action, and if there are
more than one, these will be the goods achievable
by action. So the argument ha ...

Aristotlethe Politics - 1,294 words
Aristotle-The Politics Aristotle believes that the
chief ingredient for a life of happiness is
virtue. Virtue is a state of the soul that
disposes and prompts our actions and is meant to
guide our behaviors in society and enable us to
practice moderation. Aristotle believes that human
happiness, which is not to be equated with the
simple-minded pursuit of pleasure, stems from
fulfilling human potentialities. These
potentialities can be identified by rational
choice, practical judgment, and recognition of the
value of choosing the mean instead of extremes.
The central moral problem is the human tendency to
want to acquire more and to act unjustly whenever
one has the power to do so. According ...

Art Of Living By Thoreau Walden - 1,858 words
Art Of Living By Thoreau Walden Thoreaus Art of
Living In Thoreaus Walden, he explores the art of
living by presenting a dichotomy of sojourning in
nature. The life of participating with nature
considers living simply and wisely while
cooperating with both its lowest and highest
elements. Thoreau calls for a change in life by
changing the conventional ideas of standard
societal views and its participation with the
torpor of the material mass. Throughout Walden,
Thoreau delves into his surroundings, the very
specifics of nature while trying to live the ideal
life. Perhaps the main theme and overbearing
concept that Thoreau wishes to convey to the
reader both in the conclusion and throughout W ...

Artistotle - 1,056 words
Artistotle Janet Jones Code of Ethics Research
Paper Class number 409 Frank Sams Aristotle was a
great thinker who used his reasoning ability and
knowledge through others to draw ethical
assumptions and principles. Aristotle was once in
favor of the teachings of Plato until he began to
question his philosophy. These ideas lead
Aristotle to years of writing and teaching his
work. Aristotle was a professor for twenty years
at an academy called Lyceum. Lyceum is where
Aristotle began to pursue a broader range of
subjects. He believed that a man could not claim
to know a subject unless he is capable of
transmitting his knowledge with others. Simply,
teaching for Aristotle was as a manifestation ...

Calcium In Diet - 513 words
Calcium In Diet Many people choose to avoid milk
and other dairy products because they contain fat,
cholesterol, allergenic proteins, lactose, and
frequently traces of contamination. Milk is also
linked to juvenile-onset diabetes, and other
serious conditions. Happily, there are plenty of
other, safer and more reliable sources of calcium.
Keeping your bones strong depends more on
preventing the loss of calcium from your body than
on boosting your calcium intake. Some cultures
consume no dairy products and typically ingest
only 175 to 475 milligrams of calcium per day.
However, these people generally have low rates of
osteoporosis. Many scientists believe that
exercise and other factors have ...

Happiness Of Aristotle And Aquinas - 699 words
Happiness Of Aristotle And Aquinas That men do in
fact seek different things under the name of
happiness does not, according to Aristotle and
Aquinas, alter the truth that the happiness they
should seek must be something appropriate to the
humanity which is common to them all, rather than
something determined by their individually
differing needs or temperaments. If it were the
latter, then Aristotle and Aquinas would admit
that questions about what men should do to achieve
happiness would be answerable only by individual
opinion or personal preference, not by scientific
analysis or demonstration. Aquinas, for example,
admits that happy is the man who has an he
desires, or whose every wish i ...

Hypertension - 722 words
Hypertension Hypertension is a common disorder
characterized by a sustained elevation of systolic
arterial pressure (top number) of 140 mm Hg or
higher, or a diastolic arterial pressure (bottom
number) of 90 mm Hg or greater, or both.
Hypertension is divided into two categories:
essential (or primary) hypertension and secondary
hypertension. Etiology: Research has shown that
hypernatremia (elevated serum sodium) increases
the volume of blood, which raises blood pressure.
Primary hypertension may also develop from
alterations in other bosy chemicals. For some
clients who respond to stress at a higher degree,
hypertension may be related to a higher degree,
hypertension may be related to a high ...

Inconsistent Roles - 1,880 words
Inconsistent Roles Inconsistent Roles The Colonial
era spans nearly two hundred years with each
settlement in the New World containing distinctive
characteristics. Location in the new world is one
factor that shaped women's lives but religion and
economics also played a massive role. These roles
however were constantly changing and often
contradicting. Since there is numerous factors
that contributed to the shaping of women's private
and public roles in the seventeenth and eighteenth
century it is impossible to categories all
colonial woman in one group. Some historians refer
to this period as the golden age of women;
however, I tend to see this period as oppressive,
with only few examples o ...

King George Iii - 811 words
King George III England has never produced a ruler
quite like King George III. Often called the mad
king. George III is one of the most interesting
figures in history. One of the most active rulers
in his time, George III, despite his disabilities,
has seen England and America through the French
Indian war, and the American Revolution. Unlike
his grandfather George II, George III actively
participated in the running of Great Britain.
Government was one of his great passions in life.
He owed much of his involvement in politics to his
mother, Princess Augusta of Saxe-Gotha, who raised
him to be an active king, a ruling power, rather
than a head figure. Be a King, George! his mother
said. Never ...

Metaphysics - 1,177 words
... le, medical knowledge can produce either
illness or health and a hot thing can only produce
heat. The reason he gives for this is that a
rational potential is a rational account and a
rational account necessarily reveals the need of
its object as well as its object. A non-rational
potential cannot produce or receive contraries
since contraries cannot occur in the same thing at
once. A rational potentiality can produce
contraries only because the contraries are not in
a thing. Aristotle notes that a complete
potentiality implies a partial potentiality, but
that the converse is not generally true. Aristotle
says that a potential is "a potentiality to do
something, to do it at some time, an ...

lamented and whatever other things she said, she
was always in her inmost heart in immovable

outer boards of the door with the outward man, I
can compare the hinge with the inward man. When
the door opens or closes the outer boards move to
and fro, but the hinge remains immovable in one
place and it is not changed at all as a result. So
it is also here . . . (Clark and Skinner, 1958, p.
167; emphasis mine). A hinge pin moves on the
outside and remains unmoving at its centre. To act
and yet remain in her inmost heart in immovable

Physical Fitness My report is on what it takes to

ability of the human body to function with vigor
and alertness, without undue fatigue, and with
ample energy to engage in leisure activities, and
to meet physical stresses. Muscular strength and
endurance, cardiorespiratory integrity, and
general alertness are the overt signs of physical
fitness. Physical fitness is usually measured in
relation to functional expectations-that is,
typically, by periodic tests measuring strength,
endurance, agility, coordination, and flexibility.
In addition, stress testing, which ascertains the
body's accommodation to powerful, sustained
physical stimuli, is used ...

The Digestive Systems The digestive systems works
on nutrients taken from the environment, breaking
them down into simpler products, and then
absorbing the products together with water and
salts so they can be used in metabolism. The
individuals of all species contain many different
protiens or carbohydrates in the cell walls of
bacteria, chitin in the external skeletons of
arthropods, and so on and foreign proteins or
carbohydrates are rarely incorporated unchanged.
They are usually first broken down to their
constituents before being built up again as the
proteins or carbohydrates belonging to the
organism. In such organisms that are not cellular
as amoebae, digestion occurs inside the cel ...

of the similarity between their language and the

the production of more intellectual leaders. The
writing and speaking skills of humanism was soon
demanded at the princely courts. Humanism
transformed art, literature and political and
social values. Eastern scholars were invited by
the Italians to join the West, to bring more Greek
manuscripts and to help regain command of the
Greek language. The Ita ...
